TU Delft is one of the most international universities in the Netherlands. Nearly 25% of its student population comes from outside the country, representing more than 100 nationalities. This diversity creates a truly global classroom environment where students exchange ideas and cultural perspectives. English is the primary language of instruction for most graduate programs, making it accessible to international students. TU Delft also has partnerships with leading universities worldwide, allowing student exchanges, joint research, and dual degree opportunities. Beyond academics, there are international student organizations that provide support, cultural activities, and integration programs. Living in Delft, a student-friendly city, also adds to this international flavor since the city itself has a large expat and student population. This makes it easy for newcomers to feel at home while still being connected to a global community. TU Delft truly prepares its students to work and collaborate in a multicultural environment.

The university is deeply committed to addressing pressing global issues like climate change, urbanization, sustainable energy, and digital transformation. Research at TU Delft is structured around interdisciplinary themes such as climate adaptation, artificial intelligence, healthcare technology, and smart cities. For example, its work on renewable energy has contributed to advancements in offshore wind power, while its civil engineering department develops sustainable infrastructure to withstand rising sea levels. Students are also actively involved in this mission through project-based learning and innovation challenges. TU Delft is not isolated in its approach—it partners with international organizations, governments, and industries to bring solutions to life. The entrepreneurial culture on campus encourages students to start ventures that address social and environmental issues. In this way, TU Delft doesn’t just educate students; it empowers them to be innovators and leaders tackling global problems.
